Life is not easy, and you will likely be faced with many challenges and stressors. My goal is to meet you where you are, walk alongside you, and provide guidance to assist you in moving toward where you want to be. I will seek knowledge and understanding of your world and how you would prefer it to be as you navigate your journey through life.
About Me
I have experience in a variety of mental health settings and work with children (ages 6+), adolescents, adults, and couples. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress management, chronic medical conditions, grief and loss, parenting stressors, behavioral challenges, and relationship and marital concerns. I take a person-centered, solutions-focused approach and believe that every individual has the strengths and resources needed to overcome the challenges they experience in their life.
I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of counseling. I strive to provide a supportive environment that aids you in becoming more self-aware and empowers you to recognize your strengths. I will guide you to identify your goals and we will work together to discover solutions. It takes courage to ask for help—thank yourself for taking this big step!

“I am so very happy that I found Evergreen Counseling. I had been to several therapists and none were the right fit for me. I was in a very bad place when I found this counseling center. I 1000% recommend Evergreen Counseling to anyone!! Great therapists and relaxing atmosphere.” Jennifer C.
